Proclaimed as “One of Scotland’s most exciting young painters” (-Artmag -May/June 2014), Hill’s paintings are characterised by expressive handling and lively brushwork.Bestriding genres and subjects, and with conscious nods to art history, “his work has been described as expressive and distinctive, drawing on both landscape and figurative traditions.” (-informededinburgh.co.uk -June 2014), while similarly being termed “expressive and poetic” (-galleries.co.uk -30-05-14).
